Fatt Stafford

Have you had enough?  This team will never go anywhere with this clown.

18/46 Seriously?

18/46 Seriously?

Not triying to defend him but there were a ton of drops too.

Is CJ great anymore?

Seems like he drops a ton more passes than he used to.

There were a ton of drops and he typically had about 1.2 seconds before three defensive linemen were ripping his head off. 

Putting this game on Stafford is just trying to pin it on the most visable guy.

Used to always call him Stat Padford, but I can't even do that anymore.

I'm not putting just this game on him. I'm putting his complete inaccurate career and never beating winning teams on the road, EVER, on him.

Stafford apologists and their excuses!

I'm not a Stafford apologist, I'm just someone who is aware that the game of football comes down to a lot more than one position, even if it's the only position that people who don't know what their talking about like to focus on.

Next thing you're going to say (because you're boring and predictable) is to point out that the Lions have sucked for 50 years. They've replaced quarterbacks in a panic lotsa times in those 50 years. Know what's changed when they did that? Nothing. The team still sucked. Peyton Manning wouldn't have won yesterday.

The Lions just played arguably the two best teams in the NFL and Stafford was 18/46 for 264 and a pick against the Pats and 18/30 for 183 and a pick against Arizona. In the last two weeks Stafford has only completed 47% of his passes, thrown two picks and no touchdowns. That's a QB rating of 55, and the Lions will not win another game this season if that trend continues.

He would have had a loss. Which is the only stat that matters.

Like he did last week when they played?
I mean Peyton. Didn't he lose to NE the week before?

Peyton is the worst example to use

Use whoever you want. Point is that it doesn't really matter who the qb is when he hits the receivers in the hands for TD passes and they drop it, what, three times? Doesn't matter when the offensive line is more concerned about diving at people's knees on the last play than they are about even trying to block anyone. Doesn't matter when the secondary is really kinda crappy. Stafford isn't great, but the Lions have so many bigger issues. For some reason he's the only thing anyone ever wants to talk about as if fixing that would fix everything else. It wouldn't.

But he damanded, and was paid money to be. End of story.

Okay, so what do you want to do about it? Cut him and sign.... Who exactly? Draft Jameis maybe? Put the bitching aside for a minute and tell me, what is your idea to make the position better?

I would rather get some receivers and tight ends that can catch a ball when they get two hands on it in the end zone. See how that goes.

List of lions first round picks since Stafford.

Pettigrew
Best
Suh
Fairley
Ansah
Reiff
Ebron

One could argue he's the second biggest bust behind Reiff. Can't really hold a concussion case (Best) against him. Keep in mind Stafford was the first overall pick.

You're just trying too hard too hate. Pettigrew Best and Ebron are less of a bust than Stafford? Come on dude. You don't even believe that and you know it. Try to be objective here.

Without Stafford the Lions would have lost their last 5 games and be sitting at 4-7.
